Small sized Heriz antique rugs are very rare and much demanded. Exponentially more so if they are of the Serapi type.
This heart throb is amazing. In so many ways.
The squarish size denotes tremendous age. The condition is perfect. The weave is very fine as you'd expect with the finest Serapi rugs. The color palette is just right, with handsome, soft tones of peachy red and that sky blue associated with the older Serapis. The ivory wool is gorgeous. Design wise, there is a diamond medallion in the middle and enlarged ivory corners that create a lovingly dramatic effect.
A catalog piece and a collection masterpiece.
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
